I idly thought about building a tank big enough to get inside- perhaps one of the longer ones like the Vickers Indendendent- but kept coming back to the idea that it'd basically be like operating a pedal-powered coffin.
If you want to build a pedal-powered tank I'll shoot at it, Neil! I suspect that you'll swap a whole lot of electrical problems for new problems about clutches, drive etc, but that's what this hobby is all about. You'll also need enough car space to transport it (unless you're going to build a pedal-powered tank transporter- no let's not go there). By the way, I solved a problem with my ESC by turning the automatic centring function (switch 6 on the Sabertooth) off. Have you tried that?
